"Reality" spins our society into a cesspool.

Bob Hill is one of those reporters that doesn't make many waves (and should), but often gets it right. So it is with his latest writing about reality television. I have been one to decry this genre' that is slowing morphing our society into ... well a cesspool, as Bob describes it and I have written letters to newspaper Editors about it. The GREAT Philosopher, Socrates, once said that "fame is the perfume of heroic deeds". If Socrates were alive today in present day America, he will not want to smell what our society deposits in the outhouse we call fame where heroism has nothing to do with it, but very, very bad social misbehavior does!
